Dear Agape Flights Prayer Force,
Disasters are not going to stop happening. We all can be assured that, as we go down life’s road, we will face storms-storms that bring pain and loss; storms that leave aching hearts, broken lives, and shattered hopes in their wake; storms that turn our brightest dreams into our worst nightmares.
Hurricane Melissa remind us that we are small and vulnerable compared with the unpredictable and uncontrollable forces of nature. They remind us of the brevity of life and the urgency of making sure that we are ready to stand before God at a moment’s notice.
We need to focus not on what can be torn down by the storms of life but on what stands for eternity—the image of the Cross that reaches across the centuries and down through the ages to this present time, reminding us of God’s love for all mankind.
This is the love described in John 3:16: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”
Please join us as we pray for the relief efforts in Jamaica, Cuba, Haiti, and the Bahamas. Please pray for our mission partners, Mercy Chefs, Mtn2Sea ministries, God’s Pit Crew and Sea Hope Ministries. Pray for IBC Airways as we collaborate with them in utilization of their much larger aircraft.
Leasing larger aircraft is expensive however; it is much more efficient and effective. Pray that we will have the funds to fuel those big birds so that we can affect hurting nations affected by this horrific hurricane with the Agape love of Christ!
Continue to pray for our Missionary Affiliates in Haiti, Dominican Republic and the Bahamas. While they were not in the direct path of this storm, they certainly were impacted by this hurricane. Because of the hurricane, we were unable to fly two scheduled flights. Our Flight Operations department will be trying to catch up with delivery of critical supplies quickly, please pray for Greg and his outstanding crew.
If you have ever heard me communicate with a gathering or group of people I always ask people to pray first and then I typically ask people to give of their resources. It is still the same, in every situation whether it is a natural disaster or another day with blue skies, we should always pray first and then out of obedience, give.
I am so thankful for you,
Allen T. Speer, CEO
